I.D. Leg Bands for Chickens

Here’s a simple how-to video on how to put on leg bands. This is the best way to identify your birds or keep track of multiple flocks.  My birds all look identical, each leg band has a highly visible number making it easy to know which hen is which.  They come in various sizes and colors so it’s not at all hard finding your specific preference.
Many chicken keepers use brightly colored zip ties, including me, but I must admit, they are hard to get on and off and they get brittle with age.

Building Plans for Nest Box with Perch for Chickens

These are the building plans my husband used to build this AWESOME nest box for my hens.  Because he had to buy a table saw and tools for this project, I certainly can’t say it was a bargain! Nevertheless, still a worthy investment, and a huge accomplishment for his first time building anything.
